Another 4 AM

We had the privilege to have my niece Shelby sleep over last night&do a little bit of scrapbooking. 
She is growing up so fast and is a beautiful young lady. 
Auntie loves you sweetheart!!! 

I wish I was in bed like everyone else is. 
Steve was feeling really rough and went to bed earlier than the Girls, and Kaity stayed up with me to help get me settled with meds and ... My nightly routine. 

I'm in SOOO much pain, my body is doing it's thang and has been in what we refer to as an "episode". 
It involves much pain and no sleep. 

My body is fighting against itself basically. 

My sister said I looked better, I'm glad I do. But no one knows the pain and agony I live with on a daily basis, nightly basis... But my hubby and Girls. 
They live with me and know. 

I am thankful for the healing touch on my heart God has given me. 
I'm not complaining, I'm stating facts. 
I know God will heal the rest of my body, in His timing. 

Have much to thank God for, so many blessings.. Soooo many blessings. 

So I will close with, 

Thank You Lord for Your blessings on me and our family!!!

Birthday Celebration Day 1

"Day 1" =) 
We have a tradition in our home of  celebrateing  the entire week of the Birthday Individual. 

So Day#1 for our Man is today..
and it's his 36th Birthday. 

We ladies decorated a bit,
 
Kaity made and hung this banner over the front door. 
The night before she whipped up a batch of her "special" cinnomen rolls.
 ( one of her daddy's favorites)
(She did drizzle icing over them, it isn't showing up in this pic for some reason)

Kaity went out to the Rose bush by our house and chose this pretty white Rose for her daddy. =) 
Happy Birthday Banner over the counter we chose to decorate for everything. 
Time for the delicious birthday cake made with love by Shania. 
It is her DD favorite, German Chocholate, and she made it from scratch! 
It was VERY good. =) 

Our Hero!!! He is much loved!! 
Close up! One candle was missing.. Hmm, I think someone didn't want to add that extra year on. =) 
Daddy and his three young ladies =) 
They sure love their Daddy! 
And so does this Momma! 
Shania serving us cake. 
Someone got caught!!!

Kelsey & Daddy!
One of those "Ya just would've had to been there to understand" moments. 

Wrapped up the evening with a rousing game of Dutch Blitz!!! 


Happy Birthday 😍Babe😘!!!

Praying and believing there are many more to come, good Lords will.

Thank you to everyone praying for our family, I know we are kinda 
"out of the loop" 
right now but things are still very much CRAZY right now. 

Please continue praying, yes DH is better than he was a few weeks ago.. 
BUT, and I do mean a BIG BUT, he is still VERY sick and fighting a very hard battle.

Don't let pic's and a few handshakes fool you into thinking we've got it all figured out... Still a daily process. 

Don't get me wrong, we are making progress, just slower than we had hoped for, yet trusting it to God! 

Yes hubby returned to work, 
Yes it was WAY to soon,  but,  circumstances won that one. 
Yes we are trusting Jesus to continue to carry him & us through this storm. 

We PRAISE GOD for working out the transfer to a different department!! 

But being sick and no sleep makes for a rough road, yet we are not alone, Jesus is right here with every step of faith we take. 

It's hard to watch him suffer to breath, watch him shake all the time, and be so weak. 

I'm leaning hard on Jesus and trusting His promises, but I am human and this is the love of my life so I do ache along with him. 

God is getting His glory and THAT is ALL that matters and what we want!!! 

God has opened a HUGE door for DH to witness openly to everyone from the director of Human Resources to Upper Management, fellow co-workers and friends on the job. 
They come seeking him out to hear it again, and they know about his wife's journey (yours truly) and just can't understand how we are still together and still living and going on. 
Oh, what a thrill it is to hear hubby share each day who he was privileged to share Jesus with!!! 

That is what helps make this journey a joy, to share the very REAL literal LIFE-GIVING source of strength in our hearts. 

Specific Prayer Request: 
Pray that God continues to get His glory through all this and that the seeds planted would Spring forth in the saving transformation grace in those lives touched by Gods amazing power through DH's testimony. 

Second, continue healing for hubby's lungs. He suffers so much and just breaks my heart to see him struggle day and night to breath. 

And lastly, strength and grace in the day to day responsibilities.

We are believing God and leaning hard upon Him!! 

He is so incredibly good 
and is providing everything we need when we really need it.

We are truly blessed and we are humbled by all of you that have stuck by our side on this journey by encouraging and praying, and just believing 
in us and with us. 
God has placed some amazing people in our life for such a time as this. 

Thank You!!! 

It's more than I can express to say what it means to have those that 
speak faith instead of doubts. 
Believing ...
 God is who He says He is. 
And
He Can do what He says He can do

What a mighty God we serve!!! 

Thank you for the cards, texts, calls, emails, and meals. 
May God richly bless you. 

Always praying for all of you
 as God brings you before our hearts and thoughts.

Consider this serious matter

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, 
and pray and seek My face,
 and turn from their wicked ways,
 then I will hear from heaven,
 and will forgive their sin 
and heal their land. 
(II Chronicles 7:14)

My Man & I =)

The love of my life, my soul mate sent straight into my life by Gods own hand!!
Thank You Jesus for your Mercy and tender-loving care over our family.
